I'm having problems with wvdial (or perhaps pppd) setting the correct route when I dialup.

By default windows sets a new default route, so all activity goes through the modem, but Linux does not.

Here's an example.

my ip: 10.20.211.21
destination ip: 10.20.50.1

route:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.20.211.21 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0

I can of course manually delete this route then add my own via:

route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev ppp0

But how can I have the correct route set upon dialup? (without the extra setup of typing these commands, or running a shell script)
